Porcari (Lucca), Italy, October 26, 2026<\/em> \u2013 Sofidel<\/strong>, one of the world\u2019s leading manufacturers of paper for hygienic and household use, best known for its Regina brand and FSC\u00ae-certified (FSC\u00ae-C017535), recently welcomed a delegation from FSC\u00ae<\/sup> International and FSC\u00ae<\/sup> Italia to its headquarters<\/strong> in Porcari.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The delegation, led by FSC<\/strong>\u00ae<\/sup><\/strong> <\/strong>International<\/strong>\u2019<\/strong>s Director<\/strong> General, Subhra Bhattacharjee<\/strong>, and FSC<\/strong>\u00ae<\/sup><\/strong> <\/strong>Italia<\/strong>\u2019<\/strong>s President, Maria Rita Gallozzi<\/strong>, was welcomed by Sofidel CEO Luigi Lazzareschi, along with Massimiliano Vannucchi, Chief Operating Officer, and Riccardo Balducci, Group Sustainability Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The meeting, scheduled as part of FSC\u00ae Italia\u2019s 25th anniversary, provided an opportunity to offer a closer look at Sofidel<\/strong>\u2019<\/strong>s industrial and manufacturing operations<\/strong> and to discuss the importance of forest certification schemes<\/strong> for the tissue industry. In particular, the discussion focused on the strategic role of these certifications in helping distributors and end consumers recognize genuine efforts toward responsible sourcing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c<\/em>The visit by FSC<\/em>\u00ae<\/em> International and FSC<\/em>\u00ae<\/em> Italia to our global headquarters in Porcari was a valuable opportunity to share experiences and reflections on the role of forest certifications,<\/em>\u201d<\/em> commented Luigi Lazzareschi, CEO of the Sofidel Group<\/strong>. \u201c<\/em>For an industry like ours, which invests in high environmental and social standards throughout the supply chain, being able to rely on robust, rigorous, and credible certification schemes is essential. It is important that the market be able to distinguish concrete and verifiable commitments, so that investments in sustainability are truly valued and competition takes place on a level playing field.<\/em>\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe products we use should not come at the expense of forests we need for generations,\u201d<\/em> said Subhra Bhattacharjee, Director General of FSC\u00ae<\/sup> International<\/strong>. \u201cSofidel\u2019s commitment to FSC\u00ae certification connects everyday essentials with responsible forest management and provides a foundation for continued progress. Our dialogue is about building on that commitment, using the company\u2019s scale<\/em> and reach to strengthen responsible sourcing and help move the wider market towards practices that secure the future of forests.\u201c<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSofidel is a leader in the Italian and global manufacturing landscape,\u201d<\/em> concluded Maria Rita Gallozzi, President of FSC<\/strong>\u00ae<\/sup><\/strong> Italy<\/strong>. \u201cBut its commitment extends beyond supply chains and production: as national and international members of our organization, Sofidel contributes every day to a vision that places forests at the center of the challenges and opportunities of the present and the future. We are pleased to have collaborated with Sofidel and look forward to continuing our work together on this journey.\u201c<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The visit came shortly after Sofidel received an award<\/strong> in Florence at \u201cRadici<\/strong> Comuni<\/strong>\u201d\u2013 the event celebrating FSC\u00ae Italia\u2019s 25th anniversary \u2013 for its large-scale impact in promoting FSC\u00ae-certified products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t
